User Reviews

yeah, yeah, yeah...

Hopefully, everyone knows how stupid "Bio-Dome" is. It's the manifestation of everything ridiculous about Pauly Shore's movies; ditto Stephen Baldwin's movies. If the movie has any redeeming quality

• any at all - it's that it gave Rose McGowan one of her early roles

(she later played Neve Campbell's friend in "Scream").

But otherwise, I can't see any reason to watch the movie. It is the ultimate waste of time. Anyone would think that it was created by ten monkeys working with ten typewriters for ten days. I will never forgive myself for spending money to watch this hunk o' junk. JUST AVOID IT PEOPLE! Unless you like really dumb movies.
